Even The Washington Times Doubts Obama


From the Michael Curl op-ed piece on Sunday (11-27):

Over the last decade, we became a country that relied too much on what we bought and consumed.”

– President Obama, Nov. 19, 2011

“Too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption. Human identity is no longer defined by what one does, but by what one owns.”

– President Carter, July 15, 1979

For the past 36 months, Americans have hoped for the best. But it hasn’t turned out that way. In fact, some argue that Mr. Obama actually made the economy worse – the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said last week that his 2009 stimulus package may have sustained as few as 700,000 jobs at its peak and that over the long run it will be a net drag on the economy.

But then, this. The president, traveling the country purportedly to look for votes in 2012, decided to lecture the American people on their shortcomings: fat, lazy, stupid. And now, he’s channeling – of all people – Jimmy Carter.

Don’t doubt the premise here. Democrats must spend – spend and spend and spend. It’s in their DNA. Mr. Obama offered a $3.8 trillion budget this year, to be paid for by – $2.1 trillion in revenue (read: your money). He knows that over the next four years, with automatic budget cuts set to take effect and the American people’s rising ire over the profligate spending in Washington, he’s going to have no money to redistribute to the masses.

Curl finally asks Obama: “why not just bail?”

I concur: Mr Obama, if you’re on the fence, if you’re uninterested in communicating, if you’re disengaged, if you don’t much care for the office or for the people around you —

Just bail.

P.S.
And as Europe begins to burn, ObaNero keeps fiddling, learning nothing from the history unfolding before his very eyes.

  1. Great graphic! I have borrowed it and will be using it next week.

    We must — MUST! — get Obama out of the Oval Office.

    I don’t see him voluntarily leaving, nor do I see the Democratic Party abandoning him.

  2. AOW: please, borrow away! And I don’t see him necessarily leaving; I do, however, see him continuing to be disinterested because I actually think he believes the presidency has turned out to be inconvenient and, further, truly beneath him. He has to make too many “deals,” is told he must shake too many hands, hold too many meetings. Obama DOESN’T want to “meet people.” As Matthews said, he doesn’t “like their company.”

    When Chris Matthews crosses from a water carrier to a critic, Obama is screwing up by the numbers to the point that even he can’t avoid comment.

    Again, I believe it gets down to narcissism and arrogance. He’s above most everyone else. The reason he’s still “engaged” — to whatever point that may be — is because he has a retinue of persons who continue to support and push him. To include, still, the bulk of the DEM/MSM.

  3. Pres Obaka is in the ropes in this fight,
    He will be aloof, stay on the sidelines, and shuck and jive and complain that the Conservatives just don’t get it.

    His base of communistic supporters and the ones he totally worships, will be for him until he slashes his wrists and bleeds himself out.
    Then, maybe we will see all the commie rats leaving the USS Ship “Hope and Change”.

    Count “coup” and take names of all his socialist followers.

    If This does not happen, but Obaka gets re-elected, we will begin to have a racial and “gibs me dat” shooting war in this USA.

    How this ends will be interesting.
